Dynamic comparisons
Dynamic rankings overview
Using our Dynamic Rankings, you can screen companies using multiple criteria. You may select any of the available variables from any year and define both minimum and maximum values for them. You can also sort the list according to each variable and limit the companies by industries.
Below is an image of the page with a ready-made list ‘Demo’ that filters companies by their Net sales, Credit score, Equity ratio and ROA %.
Dynamic XY scatter overview
This page is essentially the same as the Dynamic Rankings, but it also contains a scatter graph in addition to the list of companies. On this page, you can plot companies onto a scatter graph according to variables and value ranges of your choosing. For a scatter graph to be drawn, you need to add two criteria. You can add more if you like, and the additional variable values will be shown in the list but naturally not in the scatter graph.
As a result you get a XY scatter containing companies fulfilling your criteria. You can view the values of the selected variables of a company by hovering over the dot of the wanted company on the graph. You can go to the company’s page by clicking the dot or by clicking the company’s name in the list.
Below is an image showing how the companies can be viewed from the scatter.
You can also move around in the graph. You can zoom in and out of the graph by hovering your mouse over the graph and scrolling (down for zooming in and up for zooming out). You can also drag the graph around to view different parts of it.
